Christian marriage is facing an unprecedented attack, Pope Francis told members of the Schoenstatt Movement on Saturday (full video). God's face is reflected "in the face of every brother, especially the smallest, most fragile and helpless", Pope Francis said at yesterday's Angelus (full text, full video). The Vatican is not "renting the Sistine Chapel", Antonio Paolucci, director of the Vatican Museums, has said. Ross Douthat argues that Pope Francis may be leading the Church to "the brink of a precipice". John Allen suggests that Archbishop Bruno Forte "spectacularly overplayed" his hand at the family synod. Archbishop Zbigevs Stankevis of Riga describes how his mother refused to abort him. And 27-year-old Chantal Baros Wilson explains what inspired her to launch a range of Catholic toys.
